Said Jules Stewart to the Mirror, “What’s not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She’s happy … I’ve met Kristen’s new girlfriend, I like her. What’s not to accept? She’s a lovely girl.”

“I feel like people need to be free to love whoever they want. I accept my daughter loves women and men. It’s OK to be who you are in my world. We all choose our friends so we should be free to choose our lovers.”

As for what she thinks of Stewart’s prior relationship with co-star Pattinson?

Explained Jules, “They were a great couple, but she’s 25 years old and I’d like to see her have a lot more life experience before she chooses someone to settle down with. I’m very sad that Kristen and Robert didn’t have a chance to be alone together, they had to have the whole world with them and all the public stuff ruined everything.”

“But Kristen has learnt to handle her emotions and deal with her problems through the martial arts.”
